This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
And all the stones I've thrown
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones i've thrown, tell me that nothing lasts
And all stones you've thrown,
come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts
And all the stones I've thrown,
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones I've thrown,
they tell me nothing lasts.
(w/echo effects on verse)
And all stones you've thrown, they come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts
Nothing
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones i've thrown, tell me that nothing lasts
And all stones you've thrown,
come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts
And all the stones I've thrown,
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones I've thrown,
they tell me nothing lasts.
(w/echo effects on verse)
And all stones you've thrown, they come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts
Nothing

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song is kinda like a mini version of 'Heart Ache' - Starts off heavy, ends up beautiful. It even has repeated use of the word 'Nothing'!
The lyrics are again pretty obvious, and with a Biblical reference (courtesy of Bootzy!). In fact, it's all in the title - Maybe Justin's been screwed over by his friends at some point. I can certainly relate to this song, I'm going through a very similar situation right now, so it's highly relevant to me.
John 8:1-7
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
Awesome indeed!
Yessssss I was lucky enough to witness this song live and talk to Justin Broadrick for a bit. Yaaayy. Seriously, love the song. Love the whole album.
This song is like being kicked off a giant cliff into a sea of lost souls. So spirutally redeeming, I find the dismal atmosphere of it just swallows me.
This song reminds me of the Wiccan belief in The three-fold law. Everything you do comes back to you times three.
I cant beleive more people haven't posted on this. i mean usually people at least post something like "Oh em gee this is awesome!"
so sinse this song, combined with the title, is pretty easy to understand, i guess i'll take the easy route.
OMG this is awesome
haha
